Quick Facts Born, Occupation ...

Mullen pursued his education in cinematography at the California Institute of the Arts from 1988 to 1991. During this time, he was mentored by Krzysztof Malkiewicz. This collaboration led to their joint effort on Cinematography (Third Edition), a comprehensive guidebook on film production techniques.[8] Prior to enrolling at CalArts, Mullen, already 27 years old, had acquired a strong grasp of the technical aspects of cinematography by extensively utilizing resources such as the UCLA film library.[9]

In the spring of 2004, Mullen attained membership in the American Society of Cinematographers—an esteemed accolade within the cinematography community.[10][11] Notably, he received nominations for two Independent Spirit Awards for Best Cinematography: first in 2000 for Twin Falls Idaho, and then in 2004 for Northfork.[12][13] In 2017, he was honored with the Best Cinematography award for his work on The Love Witch by the Dublin Film Critics' Circle.[14]
